The Evidence: I used stripes, googly eyes, light bulbs, bows, labels and circles.

The Testimony: I wrote my journalling on the back of the page. I wrote about the night which was for Wade's 21st.

Some of its personal (sorry) but some of it goes like this.. Happy 21st to my baby Wade. I begged and begged for you to have a party but no, you are not the man to be put in the spotlight. So we had a small family dinner and it turned out to be a funny night. I gave you the traditional socks and jocks, all wrapped separately. Photo time and of course in each photo except the one above, one of you three pulled a stupid face. This seems to be a tradition in our family when having photos taken. I must say on this night your "Siblings " played up more than you did.

I sat with a cuppa and fussy cut out heaps of the flowers to place around the photo. I found the little

bird in my Kaiser cut outs and added a googly eyes as per the case file.

The background paper Kaisercraft - Paradiso Collection " Sandy Toes" had so much on it that all I did was add some Gesso with a credit card. Popped some tags from the Kaiser cutouts stash with the date on on of them,

I use some 2Crafty chicken wire which I inked with Distress ink

then some random brown embossing powder.

I found these layered butterflies in my stash and they are just perfect for this page.

You can see all the layers in this side photo. I added a key to

signify Wades 21st. I love the date stamp on the side.

CSI has a library with heaps of items you can print off and use on your layouts.

Here you can see the yellow paper in the layers, this is from the CSI library.

This is me

I am happily married with 3 grown children and 2 gorgeous litttle granddaughters. I live in the beautiful area of Lake Macquarie in NSW, Australia.

I started this journey in scrapbooking in early 2012 at the insistence of my BFF.

Since that time I have entered many online challenge sites and actually won some. I have been published numerous times in Australian scrapbook magazines and have had a 4 page feature, which was very exciting.

Early this year I was asked to teach at my local scrapbook store which I now do once a week.

I love to go on scrap retreats with my 2 travelling scrap sisters. I have met some absolutely amazingly creative ladies along the way and now have some wonderful friends in scrapworld.

I can't wait to see where this thing called scrapbooking takes me in the future and with my new motto of " be true to yourself" the sky's the limit.

I must say " thank-you " to my wonderful hubby who is not only a wonderful supporter but also my unwavering enabler.
